This was originally unknown and non-obvious (massively narrowed coronary arteries are ok?) but now known and modern clinical guidelines (which are written by physicians) have changed to reflect this reality. This was confirmed by well contr

> Doctors walk around like gods in the hospital [...] The problem is that everyone is too afraid to correct the doctors when they make obvious mistakes. This is a blanket statement that is untrue in my first-hand experience as a medical
